Swim Your Way to Adventure: Best Snorkeling Locations

Snorkeling Excursions are like having an adventure inside your own private aquarium of gorgeous, tropical fish. It’s an activity that’s available for just about every skill level and ability, and it’s been aptly described as “the ultimate lazy man's sport.” So grab a mask, fins and snorkel and check out these snorkel locations. There is no better way to get closer to the beauty of ocean life than through snorkel trips, and we’ve picked out some of the top spots for your next vacation.

Snorkeling is the most popular vacation activity on Maui, so it’s a perfect place for your snorkeling adventure. Great weather and crystal blue water have combined to create some of the world’s best snorkeling beaches on The Valley Isle, and, whether you’re a novice or an expert, you’ll enjoy your underwater time here.

This island paradise boasts an incredible array of colorful marine life. Some snorkelers in the Bahamas have even reported that they’ve been able to swim with pods of spotted dolphins. The unspoiled cays have even more to offer under the water, with natural delights such as undersea caves and stunning coral gardens.

Excellent visibility and gentle seas combine to make this a consistently top-rated location. With great snorkeling available right off the beach, this spot is a snorkeler’s delight. In most locations, you’ll be able to see swarms of colorful reef fish, sea turtles, and occasionally a barracuda or small shark.

While Belize’s lush jungles attract many visitors, what’s under the water is still more popular than what’s aboveground. Along the turquoise waters of its 185-mile barrier reef, you’ll find a huge variety of sea life and multi-hued corals, all easily accessible and welcoming to snorkelers of all experience levels.
